Why we think bloggers should blog about us (but we're not having much luck)

Such marketing strategies feel like they deserve a boycott as a matter of principle, instead of blogging about them.<p>I saw your site already twice, the first being the "exclusivity" message, where you told nothing about what you want to offer to those who join, and what do you want from those who join.<p>Asking anyone to join before telling anything is unacceptable. If you have something to say, say it. On the first page. In text.<p>Your 'prezi' looks exactly like those fullscreen-clickthrough ads that many news sites are using - so it gets skipped by users instinctively even if they don't use plugins like flashblock. Nobody wants to view a flash-demo if they weren't expecting it, people in that situation just look for a way to get through it, and do not look at the content.

Skip the Prezi and go straight to the website contact page.<p>Reasoning -<p>1. Your landing page displays an already powerful statement. 2. Your site (post-Prezi) looks professional, the Prezi doesn't. 3. I find it annoying to click through the Prezi.

I like the overall concept. It's a topic close to my own heart. A bit of feedback though, the 11k homepage image takes up far too much real estate and is really distracting. Also, it wouldn't hurt to provide info on what qualifies you to be able to provide decent, reliable advice for job seekers.

Uhm, why is it unacceptable that 15 yearolds are unemployed?

it looks like you've been killed from the front page anyway, but for what it's worth, my reaction after clicking my way through was "oh, isn't that those those spammy guys again?"<p>i can't remember any details, so i may be wrong, but i don't think that's a good sign, is it?

This looks like spam, I would have ignored it if it wasn't for the comments
